India's manufacturing sector is in the midst of a deep technological shift, and this year's ENGIMACH exhibition is set to capture that momentum in full. Now approaching its 17th edition, the event has grown into a major platform for showcasing how global manufacturers, domestic MSMEs and emerging startups are reimagining production for a connected, intelligent, and efficient future.
Held from December 3 to 7 at the Helipad Exhibition Centre in Gandhinagar, ENGIMACH 2025 will bring together more than 1,000 exhibitors from over 16 countries. The scale alone sets the tone: a vast exhibition space covering one lakh square metres, over 10,000 products on display, and a focus that spans nearly every corner of the modern production ecosystem. From precision engineering tools to fully integrated digital manufacturing solutions, the show aims to reflect how today's shop floors are being reshaped by data, automation and connectivity.
A major highlight of this edition is the strong emphasis on Industry 4.0 technologies. Visitors can expect to see machines fitted with intelligent sensors, software platforms that enable real-time decision making, and solutions built around IoT, cloud computing, big data and AI. These advances are not presented as distant possibilities but as practical tools enabling smarter manufacturing, predictive maintenance, integrated logistics, and even mass customisation.
Behind the scenes, the confidence surrounding ENGIMACH is also tied to India's broader economic landscape. Despite uncertainty across global markets, the country recently recorded a GDP growth of 7.8 percent for April to June 2025, its strongest performance in over a year. The machine tools industry, valued at 1.5 billion dollars in 2023, is projected to expand steadily in the coming decade, fuelled by both domestic demand and rising interest from global manufacturers looking to India as a production hub.
Adding further depth to the event are several co-located shows, including the Castings and Foundries Expo and the India Tools Show. Meanwhile, business-focused programmes such as the Buyer-Seller Meet, technical seminars and a dedicated startup summit are expected to create an active environment for networking, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Attendance numbers are projected to cross 90,000, bringing together industry professionals, policymakers, engineers and representatives from leading industrial associations. With a strong mix of technologies on display from automation and material handling to industrial safety systems, electronics and emerging manufacturing solutions —
2025 is shaping up to be a comprehensive snapshot of where the industry is headed.
